Insurance, debt, LLCs, homestead, trusts, single and multiple member entities, off shore trusts etc can help with isolation, ananymity, shields, deterrents, etc -some of the things you want to consider.

I am a bit more interested in Edmonton as it's more isolated from the Vancouver market. 

@Danielle Dunn You are smart not isolating your market - many investors succeed with students, and many of them around Temple.

MIL guy has requested that we do a separate walkthrough for them in “their areas” at the end of July, possibly implying he wishes to isolate himself from any liability caused by the other couple.QUESTIONS:Once the MIL couple terminates their lease via the military clause, does the lease still apply as before to the remaining two tenants who each signed separate copies?

The architectural design to meet sound insulation requirements as the following:   - 50 STC (Sound Transmission Class)   - 50 IIC (Impact Isolation Class) The apartment complex to have flat roof area of 500 -700sq. ft. that is ready for photovoltaic panel installation.

In order to isolate that charge and get the City to bill each tenant independently, you would have to have four independent (Suez) water meters to each unit which I have never heard of.

Its true that high-end markets will be more strongly impacted than middle-tier markets (the wealthier one is, the more capital they tend to have in stocks), and the effects will not be isolated to just a few coastal metros. 

Then with fiberglass insulation woven between the studs through 100% of the wall, the sides are isolated, each stud only touches one side.

Tech vs oil vs banking could be isolated in terms of geography 

I do not believe that I suggest taking a year off in isolation as a strategy to move towards Financial Freedom, and if I did, that's a section I will need to edit.Instead, I believe that once one has saved up roughly a year of expenses, that options and opportunities begin to multiply that might not otherwise exist.
